![]() Despite his disability, Ali seemed to be, as the Beatles say, “Here, There, and Everywhere,” while earning $55 million in 2006. The November 1998 Sports Illustrated magazine published a full page cartoon depicting his activities the previous year, during which he traveled to such diverse places as New York City, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Australia, Morocco and Cuba. Muhammad Ali retired from boxing in 1981, yet he appears to be even busier now than when he was fighting. John Walter and Malinda Iida esplore his influence through the voices of a wide range of commentators,and conclude that he positively influenced individuals and communities around the world, more than any other person in recent history. Muhammed Ali was more than an outstanding athlete: he was a catalyst for social change, a model for positive imitation, an inspiration to generations of people of all races worldwide. ![]() Walter, Professor, The University of Washington, Seattle, and Malina Iida ![]()
